I was there as a spectator and sitting up on the hill with my girlfriend at the time. Saw that happen and he won the race the next day !!! I never forgot seeing that. Rich Rann was driving a white 69-69 Chevelle I think it was....

That is correct, he borrowed a front wheel and tire and won the race. I could have won that rd if I hit my brakes which I usually do racing a slower car, but for some reason I didn't. Thank God, I didn't. I'm still racing the same car to this day my green Z/28. It's funny now a days, Rich Rann would have been tossed for over braking and never mind that he didn't make it to the scales either.
